Beautiful. Awesome. Very individual.

Please tell me you're joking. Please.......

Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not jesting.

I'm probably biased.

I agree, I was expecting it to look horrendous. It's not too bad though, although I'm not sure it's actually an "upgrade" over stock, more of a side-grade???

[Paul 8v]

It's not too bad, are theose wheels the same as the ones on the Wiesmann that was on here not so long ago? it looks OK from the outside but the interior looks like the inside of peggy mitchells' handbag

[nelly_h]

I don't really like that, but a couple of months on and their Rolls Royce is starting to grow on me ....well the outside is.... a bit

[Dick Seaman]

Not usually a fan of modded cars, but saw a white and black Mansory 599 parked on the street in Monaco at the GP and thought it looked great. The owner had 'teamed' it with a 6ft eastern Euro brass.
All in all a rather fetching ensemble.

Not a fan of this look - prefer it stock.
But a revised suspension and power upgrades do appeal

Their site reads like their 'creations' look;

Style Criminal's website said:

Quintessentially classiness and understatement arrange the absolutely new super soft lacquer made by Glasurit which makes the automobile with its deepest shadow black more than magic. Also the complete chrome exterior trims are coming in soften silver.  

That's one for Psued's corner although their grammer is on par with their taste.
Understatement? Understatement my foot.

Oh, the irony.

[Complex]

st, I think I actually like this one.

Not one bit of this car looks better than the standard car.

Couldn't agree more. I don't see what part of painting something bright red falls into 'understated' though!

And that leather re-trim looks like they've bought some seat covers from Argos/ Halfrauds, they're positively vulgar.

[draeburn]

No. That is wrong.

[Witchfinder]

The classiest car available today, turned into a monument to vileness. I weep.

[Jonara]

Oh. My. God.
Why would anyone buy this? I realise this is very subjective, but the point about the Maserati is that it combines a decent trun of speed with understated good looks and relative practicality. It is just bizarre that anyone who wants a car that attracts the sort of attention this monstrosity will attract would use a GT as the starting point. Just buy a yellow Gallardo!
There is nowt queerer than folk, to be sure.

[mikEsprit]

I think the interior would look just fine in an exotic.

[Denorth]

some details are actually nice, but they won't help in general:

whose idea was to put those 'vertical things' from Citroen DS3 front bumper on Gran Turismo???

Indeed, they've only made this look hideous, instead of vomit inducing. Really quite restrained by their "standards".

[ctallchris]

Ok this is the first masonry car which has not made me want to gouge my eyes out.

Quite nice really, having said that you should be able to get an interior like that on the standard car. On that basis why would you spend a fortune on it?

Very nice imo.

[ellisd82]

Not too bad for Mansory tbh. They seemed to have calmed down on the gold and gone for a nice red. not bad at all.

[Steve_M]

I am just amazed that there are enough rich people with such bad taste out there to keep this company afloat?????

If their suspension setups are anything like their design taste and their website, then I'd steer clear unless you want it to feel like a 70's Cortina and then a GT3 at alternating bends.

Their main markets are the Middle East, the United States and Russia.

I salute them.
